Damn. The worst part - the money doesn't even begin to make up for the time they spent in prison.

thats the US legal system for you

he should have gotten more. But like you said, you cant buy back time. grr

that would pretty much suck

There's a lot that went on back then that make this incident small potatoes...

Definitely not small to those guys, but suffice it to say, things got a bit uglier than they do nowadays..

indeed :thumbsup

thats the least those guys deserver...

Damn that REALLY sucks. I am sure there are quite a few innocent people behind bars because of similar incidents.

Stupid American government.

only in Amercia

So, where does the $$$ come from that the Gov't is paying him? Is that our Tax Dollars hard at work, or is it from the Overpaid Bloated salaries of the Gov't Officials?

Even if it is our tax money, it's well deserved. It's nice to see Big Brother get bent over for once.

yeah but wtf does it matter to them? It's our money they're getting bent over for :(

fucking amazing. But dont think they are not still doing the same thing to others.

They should go on a killing spree now.

Scary stuff

It's the principle. Maybe they'll think twice about bending the rules or throwing the book at someone just because they can.

Shut the fuck up. These men spent 30 years in jail for something they didn't do.

I think he's pointing to the fact that those responsible do not get the burden of paying for their crimes.

Now why don't I ever get that lucky? Oh wait I have to check my lottery ticket!

nice ammount of money

Rotting away in jail for 1/3rd of your life and being too old on release to enjoy the money awarded is lucky? Here's hoping I never get lucky by your standards.

??? That is like losing your legs in a crash and saying wow i'm lucky I got 20K in damages

I hope china will liberate the Americans from their corrupt dictatorship

After reading that article, I think this part disturbs me the most:


:disgust

Damn, at least they are going to live a very nice life from now on....

It's a good thing that the FBI would never do anything like that again.... right?? right?? They wouldn't... right??

Doesn't even begin to pay back for the two of them that died in jail.

That may be the stupiest post of the week, innocent people getting incarcerated happens all over the planet.

Sucks big time!

How about some examples...

But the point that was made was that AMERICA not only prides itself in its freedom, democracy, justness, moral ... but tries to lecture others ...

This is the FBI , not a local police chief ....:2 cents:

your an idiot
